Screenwriting 101 | Ages: Teens

Have you ever wondered how your favorite TV show got to the screen? Want to try your hand at writing a script made for TV? In this camp you will learn to write your own screenplay as well as collaborate on a pilot episode for a TV Series. We will generate ideas, learn to use the three-act structure, and operate as if we were in our own TV writers room.
